If I were to ask what the most memorable part of the seder is (besides the brisket), I think most people will tell me that it’s when they ask the four questions. I would agree that the four questions are among the most known parts of the Haggadah text. What if I told you that the four questions you know were not always the four same questions? People would probably tell me how wrong I am, because right there in the Haggadah the four same questions we always ask. That part is true, in almost all modern versions of the Haggadah, there are the same four questions. Yet originally, one question did not exist. So, what was this other question and where did it come from and where did it go? To answer that, we have to look in the Mishnah, which lays out the order of the seder as we know it. Chapter 10 Mishnah 4 teaches “They poured the second cup, and here, the son asks his father. And if the son lacks intelligence, the father teaches him. What is different about this night from all other nights? As on all other nights we eat leavened bread and matzah; on this night only matzah. As on all other nights we eat different vegetables; on this night, only bitter herbs. As on all other nights we eat roasted, stewed, or cooked meat; on this night, only roasted meat. As on all other nights we dip only once; tonight, we dip twice…’’ The bolded line is the now absent original question. It refers to the meat of the Pascal lamb sacrifice and the festive Chagigah offerings, both of which were roasted exclusively. After the destruction of the Temple, there was no longer a need to ask such a question as both of these sacrifices can only be offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, so the question was removed. Then there is an issue because there would only be three questions, and the Haggadah has a theme of the number four. So, the Rambam in his Mishnah Torah adds a new question about why it is that we recline on this night, while on all other nights we can sit or recline. The Haggadah is one of the most interesting texts in all of Jewish tradition. For as much as it has evolved, it has remained largely the same text. The spirit of the Passover holiday is to tell our story, to ask questions, and to share interesting things about the holiday. This is one of my favorite things to share because it shows us how the Haggadah, like Judaism, was able to evolve without a Temple. God willing, one day, when we are all eating our sedarim in Jerusalem, we will ask this lost question once again. I wish all of you a Chag Pesach kasher v’sameach! FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT PASSOVER 1. The world’s largest matzo ball weighed 488 pounds! 2. Ben and Jerry’s made a charoset flavored ice cream 3. The world’s largest Seder is held in Nepal 4.

Family Participation Is The Essential Ingredient In All Passover Recipes There was always a sense of warmth and support when we sat in the kitchen, whether we were watching Mom (in those days it was generally a Mom thing) prepare some new or familiar dish, or when we were invited to actually participate in the cooking or baking. Not only did we have a chance to be drawn in to the actual task, but we had an extended and supportive opportunity to talk about whatever was on either her mind or on ours. Somehow it was the most encouraging environment for what today we call “communication.” The informality linked with the tastes and smells and the sight of the cooking and baking seemed just right. Today, one of the phenomena of the modern modern American family is that fathers are cooking and baking more than ever before; some claim that it is quickly becoming the number one avocation of men between the ages of 25 and 45.

  • The Laws of Shabbat
    Shabbat: The Jewish Day of Rest, Rules & Cholent Meaningful Jewish Living January 9, 2020 Rabbi Elie Weinstock I) The beauty of Shabbat & its essential function 1. Ramban (Nachmanides) – Shemot 20:8 It is a mitzvah to constantly remember Shabbat each and every day so that we do not forget it nor mix it up with any other day. Through its remembrance we shall always be conscious of the act of Creation, at all times, and acknowledge that the world has a Creator . This is a central foundation in belief in God. 2. The Shabbat, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, NCSY, NY, 1974, p. 12 a – (אומן) It comes from the same root as uman .(אמונה) The Hebrew word for faith is emunah craftsman. Faith cannot be separated from action. But, by what act in particular do we demonstrate our belief in God as Creator? The one ritual act that does this is the observance of the Shabbat. II) Zachor v’shamor – Remember and Safeguard – Two sides of the same coin שמות כ:ח - זָכֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Exodus 20:8 Remember the day of Shabbat to make it holy. Deuteronomy 5:12 דברים ה:יב - ׁשָמֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Safeguard the day of Shabbat to make it holy. III) The Soul of the Day 1. Talmud Beitzah 16a Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said, “The Holy One, Blessed be He, gave man an additional soul on the eve of Shabbat, and at the end of Shabbat He takes it back.” 2 Rashi “An additional soul” – a greater ability for rest and joy, and the added capacity to eat and drink more.
